Etymology

The word 'fugue' originates from the Latin word 'fuga,' meaning 'flight.' The use of the term in music dates back to the Renaissance, particularly in the works of composers such as J.S. Bach, who elevated the form to new heights. The concept involves the interplay of voices that 'flight' or follow one another, creating a complex and intricate musical structure. Over the centuries, fugues have remained a fundamental aspect of Western classical music and have been utilized by composers to explore the depths of harmony and polyphonic texture. The term 'fugued' thus denotes the act of engaging in this elaborate and artistically rich form of musical crafting.
